After six games, the Estonians were ranked third in Group L, and exactly three teams from each group will advance to the world championships. However, this defeat dropped the Baltic country’s team to the last sixth place.
The Estonians were not saved even by the brilliance of former Panevėžys “Lietkabelis” guard Kristjan Kullamae – he scored 26 points (7/10 two-pointers, 4/9 three-pointers) and collected 25 efficiency points. Future Klaipėda “Neptūnas” forward Henri Drello had only 4 points (1/4 two-pointers, 0/2 three-pointers, 2/2 free throws), 5 turnovers, and 0 efficiency points.
The Hungarians were led by Zoltan Perl (22 points, 25 efficiency points).
